We'd still be cucking to Russia. Increase funding to WHO while not restocking our own medical supplies, let china beat us without putting up a fight and thanking them instead, devolve our military because those poor isis poc need to defend themselves with weapons not our evil colonial racist troops. Help other countries first while we get crippled beyond belief. Trade troops for praise (for himself) by iranian officials and tell us not to be racist calling it a foreign virus.
The biggest reason they do this is because they lack any principle besides sheer power lust.
Most progressives would welcome a nuclear war as long as they could rule the ashes.
The other reason...
I've long come to the conclusion that they
want to be destroyed.
Not by the Right but by outside opponents.
Your average progtard has so much inner shame, guilt and self-loathing that they welcome their home societies being broken, humiliated and subjugated.
Progressivism is honestly just Secular Protestantism.
And when you remove God from Protestantism you get shame, guilt, self-loathing and utopianism for no real reason and with nothing keeping those things in check.
The footsoldiers, not the guys at the top they're just power-hungry sociopaths, feel they've done something wrong just by being apart of this society, their Original Sin if you will, and they and America itself need to be humbled and crucified for those past sins.
In the 1300s the Black Death drove these kinds of people to literally self-flagellate.
In the 2020s they spout CCP propaganda instead.
It's the same basic impulse at play both times.
